Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wilkes Barre, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Wilkes Barre can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
